THANK YOU! While this discussion is robust, aren't we kind of forgetting that this is an EA game. We don't even know what the true aim of the main quest is at this point in Chapter 1. Plus the devs want us to discover this very point even as we learn their version of this BG game. I simply suspend belief (point of the game, right?) and reel in the clues as I hook them. Meaning my "feelings" about where I am in the quest to resolve my condition changes as I play the game. I'm sure at least some of the concerns voiced here will be addressed as the game moves ever onward towards release.
